There truly is nothing like giving a gift that was made by your very own hands!

Your creativity, vision and dedication when making a special gift for someone you love, is extra special!! It shows that you take the time to reflect on their individual style, what they will love, and that you go the extra mile for people in your life.

It's scientifically proven that we love something more when we make it ourselves!

In my experience, they will appreciate your thoughtfulness and personal touch so much more! The added benefit is...you will too! I'm sure we've all felt this exceptional feeling before, after giving someone something you've put your time, energy and love into. There's really nothing like it. Studies have shown that making something, even if it's assembling a piece of furniture from IKEA, we are hardwired to like it more (even if it doesn't turn out perfectly), than the same exact item that we simply bought. I Love this because it's a win win!

Here's a sweet Thank You email that I just received from a new friend. I made her a special beaded strand with Crystals and Pearls and attached a Swarovski Crystal 6714 Star Pendant/Prism at the end. (I wish I took a picture of it - rats!) Here's what she said:

"We finally decided to hang our beautiful crystal on the morning side of the house. There is one window we open, without fail, first thing in the morning to let in the day’s light. And we can’t think of a better way to start our day than by receiving and enjoying the blessings of the crystal. I finally completed this DIY task today (LOL), and we are looking forward to the morning’s greeting. Thank you again for this beautiful gift, as well as the gift of your friendship."

I know I'm a bit of a sap, but this email almost made me cry! It filled my heart with so much joy to know that every day she will be enjoying all of the beautiful sparkles & Rainbows of Light that I handmade for her!

Here's a Swarovski Crystal and Pearl Tassel Necklace that I recently made for my friend's Birthday!

My friend absolutely LOVES her new Swarovski Crystal and Pearl Tassel Necklace! She put it on right away after opening it and I've seen her three times since and every time she's been wearing it!! She says it goes with so many outfits, which is incredibly fun and rewarding that I made something that she loves so much!
